While speaking with former CIA Director John Brennan, Deadline: White House host Nicolle Wallace trashed President Trump for "putting his finger on the scale for some of Europe's most nationalistic, xenophobic, isolationist type movements." As Wallace spoke, the chyron at the bottom of the screen read "Trump Plays Kingmaker With UK Prime Minister Endorsement and Predicts 'Brexit Will Happen.'" In other words, Wallace was referring to Brexit as "xenophobic." Brennan appeared to wholeheartedly agree with Wallace, accusing President Trump of "sending a very bad signal...with the America first mantra," adding "this isolationism, this nativism, this in fact tribalism that I think we see manifested in many of the movements around the world I think is being abetted and accelerated and emphasized by Mr. Trump."
